Any significant changes? Will Mercedes dominate yet again? My boy Harvick has won three in a row in NASCAR, with a hiccup at Fontana due to poor decision making, not car set up... This weekend at “The Paperclip” aka Martinsville, before a much needed week off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlam Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Ouch, Bottas crashes in the qualifying. He will probably start at the back of the grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Very cool looking car! I look forward to better competition this season. Hope the Ferrari and Red Bull conglomerates have their game up to snuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlam Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 ^ Let's hope for the best and fear for the worst. Ferrari's and Red Bull's race pace looked good in the practices... but so did Mercedes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlam Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Vettel wins. He was very lucky with the virtual safety car. Hamilton 2nd, Räikkönen 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlam Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Good race in Bahrain, Vettel wins again. Bottas was really close, couple of laps more and he probably would have passed. One of Ferrari's crew members was hurt during Kimi's second pit stop. Broke two bones from his leg. It's amazing how Ferrari always manages to ruin Kimi's race.

The BEST day of racing is bestowed on us once again. Enjoying the precision, strategic, and visually mesmerizing streets of Monaco. Ricciardo has been The Man all week so far....but we’ve seen that before. Not no really, Strider. Hope she has a good race and comes through without injury. It’s tough to just jump into an Indy car after not being in one for the better part of a decade, at the 500, and not wreck out. Tonight Harvick is going for four wins in a row (counting last weeks All-Star race) and he’s starting from the back with very limited practice time - due to failing inspection. Should be fun watching him drive to the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Congratulations to Daniel Ricciardo! Great strategy and execution with an ailing transmission/engine!!! Earnhardt would be proud with you running his stylized number 3! Indy has begun so that means an Indy shot and....time to walk up the street! 🍾🎉🏁🏆 ✌🏼 Edited May 27, 2018 by Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, pole for Räikkönen! Ferrari seems to be the fastest car at the moment, but Hamilton is still leading, thanks to Vettel's mistakes. Especially that crash in Germany cost him much.

Walter Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 So F1 has been decided, congrats to Lewis Hamilton, all others have finished their seasons....so it’s Championship Weekend down in Miami/Homestead for NASCAR. The “Final Four” this season are: Kyle Busch #18 - Toyota - Joe Gibbs Racing - 8 wins this season - 1 Championship Kevin Harvick #4 - Ford - Stewart-Haas Racing - 8 wins (plus the all-star race) this season - 1 Championship Joey Logano #22 - Ford - Penske Racing - 2 wins this season - no championships Martin Truex Jr. #78 - Toyota - Front Row Motorsports - 4 wins this season - 1 Championship (defending champion) Sunday it’s whomever finishes highest amongst those four will win The Cup. Great racetrack, it is a rough, bumpy surface, 1.5 mile perfect oval with multiple grooves, which lends itself to great racing. Should be an epic finish to the season.

Rolex 24 completed Now it’s time for the “Great American Race” 2019 edition. So far...William Byron won the pole (driving the 24 made famous by Jeff Gordon and now with the 7-time champion crew chief from Jimmie Johnson’s team, Chad Knaus), Jimmie Johnson won The Clash, and the winners of The Duels on Thursday night were Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano. Green Flag drops at 2:30 ET on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
